2018-10-24Extend the sharing-preserving routines to optionally copy literalsBjörn Gustavsson
In the implementation of the zero-copying term storage, we want to preserve sharing, but not copy literals because the modules holding the literals could be unloaded under our feet.

2017-02-06Implement magic referencesRickard Green
Magic references are *intentionally* indistinguishable from ordinary references for the Erlang software. Magic references do not change the language, and are intended as a pure runtime internal optimization. An ordinary reference is typically used as a key in some table. A magic reference has a direct pointer to a reference counted magic binary. This makes it possible to implement various things without having to do lookups in a table, but instead access the data directly. Besides very fast lookups this can also improve scalability by removing a potentially contended table. A couple of examples of planned future usage of magic references are ETS table identifiers, and BIF timer identifiers. Besides future optimizations using magic references it should also be possible to replace the exposed magic binary cludge with magic references. That is, magic binaries that are exposed as empty binaries to the Erlang software.

2017-02-06Atomic reference count of binaries also in non-SMPRickard Green
NIF resources was not handled in a thread-safe manner in the runtime system without SMP support. As a consequence of this fix, the following driver functions are now thread-safe also in the runtime system without SMP support: - driver_free_binary() - driver_realloc_binary() - driver_binary_get_refc() - driver_binary_inc_refc() - driver_binary_dec_refc()

2016-08-01erts: Remove the need for copying of literalsBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
* Literals are not copied between processes for messages or spawn Increases performance of message sent and processes spawned when literals are involved in messages or arguments.

2016-02-24erts: Change erl_exit into erts_exitSverker Eriksson
This is mostly a pure refactoring. Except for the buggy cases when calling erlang:halt() with a positive integer in the range -(INT_MIN+2) to -INT_MIN that got confused with ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_DUMP_EXIT and ERTS_INTR_EXIT. Outcome OLD erl_exit(n, ) NEW erts_exit(n, ) ------- ------------------- ------------------------------------------- exit(Status) n = -Status <= 0 n = Status >= 0 crashdump+abort n > 0, ignore n n = ERTS_ERROR_EXIT < 0 The outcome of the old ERTS_ABORT_EXIT, ERTS_INTR_EXIT and ERTS_DUMP_EXIT are the same as before (even though their values have changed).
2015-11-18Refactor sharing preserved copy flagsBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
The TMPBUF option is no longer needed due to is_literal test and NONE was only used for initial debugging. So we remove the entire option.

2015-11-17Fix Map preserved sharing copy implementationBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
The Map implementation has changed since initial preserved copy implementation.
2015-11-17Fix Halfword removalBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Halfword is no longer present in the runtime system.

2015-11-17Add support for maps in preserved copyNikolaos S. Papaspyrou
2015-11-17Add -debug +vc flag for debuging SHCOPYNikolaos S. Papaspyrou
This is very verbose, you have been warned. It should work with the copy-spy.py script, which may be a bit outdated.
2015-11-17Add machinery to enable SHCOPY dynamicallyNikolaos S. Papaspyrou
This commit is just for debugging purposes, will probably be reverted. It comes with a the erts_debug:copy_shared/1 BIF. If SHCOPY_DISABLE is defined, SHCOPY starts disabled and is dynamically enabled the first time that the BIF is called.
2015-11-17Add all the main machineryNikolaos S. Papaspyrou
Add functions size_shared, copy_shared_calculate and copy_shared_perform. Add the infrastructure for making these communicate with each other. Add debug information to other places in the VM, to watch interaction with the sharing-preserving copy. CAUTION: If you define the SHCOPY_DEBUG macro (after SHCOPY is actually used in the VM) and make the whole OTP, there will be a lot of debugging messages during make (it will also be enabled in erlc). You have been warned...
2015-11-12Fragmented young heap generation and off_heap_message_queue optionRickard Green
* The youngest generation of the heap can now consist of multiple blocks. Heap fragments and message fragments are added to the youngest generation when needed without triggering a GC. After a GC the youngest generation is contained in one single block. * The off_heap_message_queue process flag has been added. When enabled all message data in the queue is kept off heap. When a message is selected from the queue, the message fragment (or heap fragment) containing the actual message is attached to the youngest generation. Messages stored off heap is not part of GC.

2015-06-15erts: Remove hashmap probabilistic heap overestimationSverker Eriksson
by adding a dynamic heap factory. "binary_to_term" is now a hybrid solution with both a call to decoded_size() to calculate needed heap space AND possible dynamic allocation of more heap space if needed for big maps. The heap size returned from decoded_size() is guaranteed to be sufficient for all term heap data except for hashmap nodes. All hashmap nodes are created at the end of dec_term() by invoking the heap factory interface that may allocate more heap space on process heap or in fragments. With this commit it is no longer guaranteed that a message is confined to only one heap fragment.

There is no need to take special care of Maps at all since header_arity(hdr) will take care of the normal case via its Map handling.

* paulgray/dtrace_snprintf_fix/OTP-11816: Pass full strings to DTrace probes
2014-03-12Pass full strings to DTrace probesMichal Ptaszek
Whenever string is passed as an argument to a DTrace probe, its length should be properly computed. Until now in order to get length of the input buffer size_of(char *) was used - which evalutes to 4 or 8 (depending on the architecture). To get a proper length, size_of(DTRACE_CHARBUF_NAME(buffer_name)) should be used.
